guys i also have a question regarding wifi... if your connected to your home network. does the data you use contribute to your phone bill, or your the data used contributes to your home network usage... thanks.

i think it contributes to your home network usage, but it depends whether you purchase something over the internet.

The only usage that is metered is what is actually processed through a carrier. When you connect over wifi (at home, office, or hotspot) there is no carrier use in accessing the internet, it all goes through the LAN to which your wifi has connected.

i just tried to connect like before. It just worked. i think my router has a problem in terms of connectivity. i am also having a problem with my router when i'm using my laptop. i'm using a linksys router, i realize that everytime that the light of the 'wlan' icon is off, i lose connection from the net. then what i do is to pull the plug from my router then plug it in again.
